Compatibility profiles for closed standards

Closed standards, such as those of ISO, IEC and comparable bodies, appear on this site only as compatibility profiles: worked examples of how a Nexus record or clause set relates to such a standard, kept on restricted pages that are not public, not listed and not indexed, and activated for each issuing body by agreement. Clause text is not reproduced, and names are used only to identify the documents.

02Rules

Rules for compatibility profiles

  • A profile presents worked example records and a crosswalk matrix at the level of clause numbers; clause text is not reproduced.
  • Every figure and export carries a watermark identifying it as a compatibility profile without affiliation to the issuing body.
  • A profile remains restricted, outside public listings and search indexes, until the issuing body agrees to its activation.

Take part in the standards.

Governments, regulators, standards bodies, industry, academia and communities are invited to shape the catalogue ahead of its first official release, targeted for 2030: comment on a draft, propose a change, join a working group or host a field exercise.

Status and use. The Nexus Standards are proposed standards developed through an open process under NS-13 and published for voluntary use; they do not constitute certification, accreditation or regulatory approval, and adoption remains a decision of the Global Standards Council and, in each country, of its National Standards Council. A UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier) identifies an artifact; it does not certify it. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.
